Blended from new spring 2013 lot.
A tiny foil container of an outstanding grapefruit sencha was brought to us from Japan by a friend. We hoarded it, worshipped it, and ultimately finished it off.
Months went by and Candice kept bugging me to create a Zhi version. So I did. And it is pretty darn good if I may say so myself.
A simple blend of our organic premium sencha, organic grapefruit extract and organic pink grapefruit peel.
The result: a delightful top note that sits delicately over the rich grassiness of the sencha. Perfect, subtle, intoxicating aromatics. Very addicting. Currently Jeffrey's (my) favorite green tea, by far. And now a best seller. Great for multiple steeps. Moderate caffeine.

- Remove leaves after recommended time (adjust to taste)
